Description
Join Cori Hutchinson, Discovery Lead, in this participatory, discussion-based program centered on the book Midnight Blue authored by Simone van der Vlugt and translated by Jenny Watson. Invoking historical figures such as artist Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn and faience proprietor Wouter van Eenhoorn, this fictional novel set against a backdrop of seventeenth-century turmoil and renaissance follows Catrin, a woman fleeing her past, who finds herself expertly painting pottery at a workshop in Delft during the rise of the production of the iconic white-and-blue Dutch delftware.
